I found a binary file with a gibberish name in my home directory. Its content seems to be just hex zeroes when I open it in an online binary viewer. It doesn’t have execute permissions. It seems I accidentally ran spotify --uri= around the time the file was created (I could not replicate).

Can I safely ignore this as some bug with a program that tried to write to a file?

    Convoluted name and a lot of null bytes? Sounds like a temporary file used during downloading.
